Also included is a list of "Staff Picks" which, we have just found out, we can choose ourselves.

I shall be updating the list of "Staff Picks" every week or two from now on. So, if you have any favourites you would like to be included, please post your suggestions here.

I should like to have a variety of fiction, non-fiction, other languages, classics and lesser-known works, and would be particularly interested in anything topical, so if you feel your suggestion would be especially appropriate for a particular time of year, please make a note of this in your post.
